Why applications on this route get refused

Employer lacks foreign labour recruitment authorization
The Labour Visa requires the employing entity to hold authorization to recruit foreign labour; an application from an unauthorized employer doesn't meet the requirement.
How to avoid it: Confirm your employer's foreign labour recruitment authorization before applying.
Missing medical certificate for a stay over 3 months
A medical certificate is required when the intended stay exceeds 3 months; not providing one for a longer stay is a common gap.
How to avoid it: Get the required medical certificate before applying if your job will last more than 3 months.
